Finn Wolfhard is Brother-From-Hell Pugsley in "The Addams Family"

A relentless innovator of devilish schemes and a menacing ten-year-old on over-drive, Pugsley enjoys setting unsuccessful booby traps for his sister Wednesday and bemused father, Gomez.

Stranger Things and IT sensation Finn Wolfhard breathes life to Pugsley in Universal Pictures and Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures’ new animated comedy The Addams Family.

While everyone in the movie is struggling to accept things that are foreign to them and playing with boundaries, Pugsley gets a more physically active storyline, one in which he has to take a break from his pyrotechnic hobby to learn the “Sabre Mazurka,” a rite of passage ceremony to prove he is indeed ready to become an Addams Family man. Taking a break from — literally torturing his sister Wednesday — Pugsley can’t seem to grasp the frenzied routine, disappointing Gomez. Ultimately Gomez realizes that Pugsley has to march to the beat of his own demented drum.
